Dallas in the afternoon

Another cool thing about having cable again is that "Dallas" comes on right after Jenna goes down for her nap. I saw J.R. get shot today. Of course I know who did it, since I saw it when it aired 25 years ago.

A few things I never noticed about "Dallas" when I watched it as a kid:

1) Yankee actors doing really bad Texas accents.2) How tacky the interior of the house at Southfork was.3) How many grown men called their father "Daddy."

The thing I thought was the coolest about the Ewings when I was a kid:

About all I remember about Dallas was that it came on right after The Dukes of Hazzard on Friday nights. Now THAT was quality television! :-) I loved watching the opening of Dallas, but that was just about it for me.

Oh, yes. The Ewing family tree stump.I remember the episode where J.R. was coming at it with a stump grinder and the rest of the family chained themselves to it and cried, "No! Not the Ewing family stump!" I think it was the second most-watched episode.
